<p>Thank you&nbsp;for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>About fifteen&nbsp;years ago, on honeymoon in Tanzania (in a very romantic haze -&nbsp;naturally)&nbsp;I thought it would be lovely to return one day and climb Kilimanjaro. Since then the idea has resurfaced and I somewhat foolishly mentioned going for my XXth?? birthday. I have not been allowed to forget this and with&nbsp;my&nbsp;seven mad&nbsp;volunteer (never mind what they say) companions,&nbsp;plans started to be drawn up last year. I now find myself facing the prospect of a week with no loos, no washing, endless walking and&nbsp;Matt is staying at home! -definitely not the romantic stroll I had in mind!!!!</p> <p>Anyway we thought since we were going we should try to do a little fund raising and as a group we have chosen two charities - The Dame Vera Lynn Trust and St Catherines Hospice.&nbsp;We are funding the trip ourselves so<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong> all </strong></span>the money donated will go straight to the charities.</p> <p>By donating through JustGiving your details are safe &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s&nbsp;a really good&nbsp;effective way to donate.</p> <p>I'd be really grateful for your support through any donation and I promise to seek attention for my obvious problems with romantic notions&nbsp;on my return - Heaven Help Matt!!!</p>
